1. Brainpower tip

Four handicaps to useful intelligence:
  1. Uninformed. Ignorance. Simply not knowing. Lack of reading, lack of awareness.
  2. Disinformed. Brainwashing. "Knowing" the wrong things. Misled, disinformed.
  3. Lack of reasoning. Cannot exercise logic. Draws conclusions that aren't there. Non-sequitor (it does not follow).
  4. Not listening. Hearing something that isn't said. Hearing the opposite of what is said.

Unfortunately, the four handicaps above are not only normal but are required for many kinds of employment. That doesn't mean, however, you need to be like the people who have the effective intelligence of a mushroom.

If you actively work on all four of these areas consistently, you won't have these problems.

2. Finance tip

Recently, the Federal Reserve (which isn't federal and does not reserve anything) committed a crime of enormous proportions. And it's costing you hugely.

Ben Bernanke, the head bankster at this law-ignoring private corporation, massively devalued all dollar-based assets by pumping out 600 billion dollars conjured out of thin air. Each of those dollars dilutes the value of every existing dollar. Basically, it's stealing. Felony theft is defined as stealing $500 or more. This was way, way beyond that.

Bernanke calls it "injecting liquidity," but that is the opposite of what it actually is. It's an injection of debt. Debt is overhead. Contrary to the lies Bernanke is spewing, debt does not stimulate an economy. Debt retards an economy.

The world's economy, already staggering, must somehow absorb yet another massive fraud. Say goodbye to a few million more American jobs.

Yes we can! ...say goodbye to millions of jobs while criminals run things in Washington.

We can try to cope with such massive theft by depriving ourselves of such things as adequate heat in the winter and by adding to our already long workweeks to try to earn more of those devalued dollars. Oh, yes, this was not only a massive taking from your assets--it was also a permanent pay cut.

The problem is we can do only so much to cope. Consider that during the reign of error of Bernanke's predecessor (Alan "Conman" Greenspan), the dollar lost half its value in 18 years. But in the 10 years from 1998 to 2008 (four years of which were covered by Bernanke's reign of error), the dollar lost half its value. That's almost a doubling of the theft rate.

When we say the dollar lost half its value, that is quite consequential. As a thought experiment, imagine taking a large saw to your home and cutting it in half. You can keep only one half. Married people--do not do this thought experiment on your spouse!

Or go into your clothes closet and just toss out half of what's in there. Whatever you own, give away half of it. Or go to the bad part of town and ask some people to break into your house and steal half of what you own. Does this all sound insane? Sure. But it's exactly what the Federal Reserve has done to you.

No legitimate government would allow this kind of outrageous, felonious theft to occur. The federal govt of the USA not only allows it, but actively abets it. Did you vote for any Demopublicans in the recent "election" and thus send your approval of such crime? Don't do it again, if you did.

What can you do to stop this kind of hugely damaging crime? Not much, because, as we saw earlier this month, Americans prefer to vote for the crime-loving avatars of corporate criminals rather than for real candidates. But between now and the next pseudo-election, you can work on changing that.

It used to be fashionable to refer to calls for ending the Federal Reserve as "misguided" or "conspiracy theorist." After Bernanke's brazen crime, which was not even slightly opposed by the "government" in Washington, only people who can't pass a second grade mathematics test can say such things now without realizing they aren't facing reality.

The solution to protecting your financial future should now be obvious, but if it's not then think about it until it becomes obvious. Then spread the message.

Maybe the next time an "election" rolls around, there'll be enough people not throwing away their vote by "choosing" between members of The Party and thus sending the message that high crimes are acceptable. Only when that happens can we begin to have any hope of changing the current (and long-standing) criminal regime to a legitimate, law-abiding federal government.

I remind you, in closing, that stealing $600 billion in wealth is a crime of immense proportions.

3. Security tip

First, I'm going to relate a true story. Then, I'm going to give you an alternate ending. Think about the message and what it means for you.

Original story:

Plantation, Florida: Police were called to investigate an attempted armed robbery: The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, Florida, Subway shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, and he works out every day. Mr. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night.

According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Rd. just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner, Mr. Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Mr. Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money, but then Mr. Lovell pulled his handgun and opened fire. He shot one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head.

When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop, K-9 Units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business. They also found cash strewn around the front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the Plantation Police Department.

Both men were taken to the Broward General Medical Center , where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale died. The other, 21-year-old Frederick Gadson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition.

Mr. Lovell was a pilot in the Marine Corps, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta Airlines. He is not expected to be charged authorities said. ''He was in fear for his life,'' Detective Rettig said, "These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds and aren't intimidated by idiots."

Florida law allows eligible citizens to carry a concealed weapon. Don't you just love a story with a happy ending?

 

Now, here's the same story with a fictional but still happy ending:

A law-abiding gun owner is in a Subway, as it's being robbed. He confronts one of the robbers. He then says, "Anyone in here who believes in outlawing guns, raise your hand."

Some criminal protection activists ("gun ban" people) raise their hands.

"OK, Mr. Robber. You can shoot the people who raised their hands, because without me here with my gun--which is what they want--you'd be able to do that anyhow. But if you shoot any sane people, I'll drop you on the spot."

Robber shoots the criminal protection activists. Everyone else is unharmed.

Another happy ending. All of the sane people lived; the only ones who died were those who wanted criminals to have the freedom to kill with impunity. Everyone got what they wanted.

4. Health tip/Fitness tips

Build an impressive chest.

I wear a 44 coat and have a 31 inch waist. This is nothing compared to Arnold or other big bodybuilders, but does provide for a nice appearance and plenty of strength.

A solid, muscular chest gives a man a powerful look, if it's coupled with a matching physique.

It's also important for a woman. A solid, muscular chest gives a woman the foundation for whatever natural assets she has to look their best (and it is much safer than having foreign, bound-to-leak bags of silicone surgically implanted).

Many people immediately think of the bench press as the way to build their chest, and they are thinking along the right lines.

However, it's only part of what you need to do and it must be done right to be effective.

So, how do you build your chest?

At www.supplecity.com, you'll find plenty of informative, authoritative articles on maintaining a lean, strong physique. It has nothing to do with long workouts or impossible to maintain diets. In fact:

  • The best workouts are short and intense.
  • A good diet contains far more flavors and satisfaction than the typical American diet.

 

5. Factoid

The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.

The sentence: "I'll be happy to sponsor that porkbarrel spending bill if you can line up a paid speaking engagement for me" contributes to enslaving every member of the population.
